Play sequence visualization and analysis

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising lines of code executable by a processor and configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a video stream of a sporting event;
• extracting a first play sequence comprising one or more athletic actions wherein the first play sequence is represented by a first icon;
• extracting a second play sequence comprising one or more athletic actions wherein the second play sequence is represented as a second icon, wherein the first play sequence and the second play sequence are different temporal play sequences;
• determining whether the first play sequence and the second play sequence satisfy a similarity measure based on at least a comparison of the one or more athletic actions of the first play sequence and the one or more athletic actions of the second play sequence;
• linking the first play sequence and the second play sequence when the similarity measure is satisfied;
• transmitting coded play sequences as an interactive media interface including multiple interactive options, wherein the multiple interactive options comprise moving a player in the first play sequence or the second play sequence from an actual position during the first play sequence or the second play sequence;
• and
• updating the first play sequence or the second play sequence based on the moving of the player in the first play sequence or the second play sequence.

A processor connected to a communication infrastructure, and configured to:

• receive a video stream of a sporting event;
• extract a first play sequence comprising one or more athletic actions wherein the first play sequence is represented as a first icon;
• extract a second play sequence comprising one or more athletic actions wherein the second play sequence is represented as a second icon, wherein the first play sequence and the second play sequence are different temporal play sequences;
• determine whether the first play sequence and the second play sequence satisfy a similarity measure based on at least a comparison of the one or more athletic actions of the first play sequence and the one or more athletic actions of the second play sequence;
• link the first play sequence and the second play sequence when the similarity measure is satisfied;
• generate, for transmission, coded play sequences as an interactive media interface including multiple interactive options, wherein the multiple interactive options comprise moving a player in the first play sequence or the second play sequence from an actual position during the first play sequence or the second play sequence;
• and
• update the first play sequence or the second play sequence based on the moving of the player in the first play sequence or the second play sequence.
